For me, the configuration and deployment stage of any FPGA design is the most interesting. It’s also the most demanding because it’s where the device first meets the real world. It’s when the security challenges of protecting the bitstream, the keys, the configuration...

I’ve seen quite a few people talking about the upcoming EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on FPGA forums. Some are favorable, especially from those in the aerospace, defense and medical sectors, seeing it as strengthening the security of FPGAs throughout the whole supply...

There’s an odd duality in modern FPGA design. We want them to do more, compute more, include more features and deliver results faster and more efficiently. Yet at the same time, there are often competing demands for them to have a smaller footprint and use less power....

FPGAs no longer live inside closed, single‑purpose systems where the environments are tightly controlled and predictable. They now sit in cloud servers, edge AI devices, automotive platforms, and industrial IoT nodes, in space as well as on Earth. They are updated...

Ever since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, I have been fascinated by the possibilities (as well as the potential pitfalls) of using AI. Now it’s everywhere, and in all different flavors, and whether you write code or content, or generate images, chances are AI...

One aspect of FPGA design and development I like the most is that it’s always changing. A decade ago, it was about deep RTL expertise, vendor-specific flows, and deterministic, long-term deployments, and our focus was on maximizing performance per watt for...
